What does HANS-compatible mean?

A HANS-compatible helmet is designed to work with a head and neck restraint system. Many compatible helmets include factory-installed anchors, while others may require confirmed hardware compatibility. If your racing setup uses a HANS or similar restraint, check the helmet's anchor setup, certification, and product details before ordering.

Factory anchors

Some helmets come with HANS anchors already installed by the manufacturer.

Restraint compatibility

The helmet should clearly state compatibility with head and neck restraint systems.

Certification still matters

HANS compatibility does not replace SA2025, FIA, Snell, or other required standards.

Fit still matters

The helmet must fit correctly even when used with your full safety system.
